Hi There!
I have recently installed an MS-5184 Baby AT VI4 Motherboard with an AMD
K6-III running at 450MHZ. I used to run an AMD K6-II @ 366MHZ with an
old, 66MHZ board. The memory is exactly the same. Some people said I
would notice a difference; some said I wouldn't. My experiences so far
are:
* StarOffice actually looks like it's doing something and reacts
straight away
* Netscape loads almost at the click of a button
* X runs significantly faster
* The GIMP loads significantly faster
In my opinion the upgrade has been worth it. Besides, I now have two
relatively fast machines. The older KG II @ 366MHZ was certainly quite
fast and I still have it; just gotta get round to installing it into a
case somewhere. The only glitch is that it killed my Windows (again).
Because some of the I/O port addresses are different, Windows is asking
this and asking that and asking this and askng that. I will eventually
get around to installing the stupid thing....
